Product Description

Craig Liebenson Video Segment of the Assessing Movement Lecture

This is JUST Disc 5 of the day-long lecture,  in which Craig discusses the history of human movement in medicine and patient care, and the evolution of medicine as clinicians come to understand the role of the brain in movement and pain.

• The one movement Craig gets the most information from when assessing a person who comes to his gym. pg.8
• How to make people at least 3.5 times more likely to have between-session improvement, as shown by physiotherapists in Australia. pg.9

• The training method used by Michael Phelps that allowed him to overcome setbacks in the Olympics. pg.11
• A movement that will get an automatic contraction of the abdominal wall and will normalize breathing. pg.11
• Reported findings that explain why muscles stay tight. pg.11-12
• Read this if you treat ankle sprains: What Professor Janda and Joanne Bullock-Saxton found in a study of people who had previously had an ankle sprain where the ligaments were compromised. pg.12
• The most important phase to look at when analyzing the gait to promote hip extension. pg.12
• Three ways to reactively get high-density contractions in inhibited or dormant tissues in the hip extension. pg.12
• The importance of focusing on movement to developed and developing nations, and the cost of not rethinking physical activity. pg.13
